Get started for freeReflection by thin layers. In Fig. 35-42, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3. (The rays are tilted only for clarity.) The waves of rays and interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). For this situation, each problem in Table 35- 2 refers to the indexes of refraction , and , the type of interference, the thin-layer thickness in nanometres, and the wavelength in nanometres of the light as measured in air. Where is missing, give the wavelength that is in the visible range. Where is missing, give the second least thickness or the third least thickness as indicated.
In Fig, monochromatic light of wavelength diffracts through narrow slit S in an otherwise opaque screen. On the other side, a plane mirror is perpendicular to the screen and a distance h from the slit. A viewing screen A is a distance much greater than h. (Because it sits in a plane through the focal point of the lens, screen A is effectively very distant. The lens plays no other role in the experiment and can otherwise be neglected.) Light travels from the slit directly to A interferes with light from the slit that reflects from the mirror to A. The reflection causes a half-wavelength phase shift. (a) Is the fringe that corresponds to a zero path length difference bright or dark? Find expressions (like Eqs. 35-14 and 35-16) that locate (b) the bright fringes and (c) the dark fringes in the interference pattern. (Hint: Consider the image of S produced by the minor as seen from a point on the viewing screen, and then consider Young’s two-slit interference.)
If mirror in a Michelson interferometer (fig 35-21) is moved through , a shift of 792 bright fringes occurs. What is the wavelength of the light producing the fringe pattern?
Light of wavelengthis used in a Michelson interferometer. Let be the position of the movable mirror, withwhen the arms have equal lengths. Write an expression for the intensity of the observed light as a function of , lettingbe the maximum intensity.
A camera lens with index of refraction greater than 1.30 is coated with a thin transparent film of index of refraction 1.25 to eliminate by interference the reflection of light at wavelength that is incident perpendicularly on the lens. What multiple of gives the minimum film thickness needed?
